Intro
LOEWE is pleased to announce the names of the 30 shortlisted artists for the 2022 edition of the LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize. Each finalist’s work will be exhibited at the Seoul Museum of Craft Art (SeMoCA), Seoul from 1 July to 30 July 2022.

The fifth edition of the LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize presents an invigorating selection of works that display contemporary updates to centuries-old tradition. Many of the finalists selected this year have presented works that show a deep understanding and mastery of ancient techniques from across the globe, combined with the application of novel and unexpected materials to create works that are both relevant to our present time and relationship with the past while striving to look to the future. The selection of works also speaks to humanity’s connection to the natural world and to geometry in natural form.
